    Big Reds and Big Blue

    I haven't posted much in awhile. Here is a current line up of the Reds. 2 86 models and my 87 Big Blue. Both 86's are pretty nice with fairly low hours.
    Big Blue is my work horse. I have a rear disc brake set up to install on it and also fix the broken bolt on the header pipe for the heat shield. I have yet to really ride the big blue after I have replaced the plastics. Also installed is a new front wheel and tire. I am anxious to see how it performs compared to the original. I would think the ride will be better but being skinny will drop down in the rut easier causing the bottom of the forks to get beat and scrapped a little worse. I still need to add my gun rack back on it and I may install some tunes as well. If anybody has a speedo set up, I would love to have one.

    Those look good Shane! Big Blue turned out nice and the brewski holder is a nice touch!

    Maier had a group buy. Had to have at least 5 sets to buy one specific color. There are a ton of green big reds out there. I would say there are less than 10 big blues out there. Probably 20-30 greens and a at least 5 orange.

    Is it just me or does the 250ES not look dated? Older ATCs have that retro feel, and the 4 wheelers from that time look very dated IMO, but the 250 Big Red looks like it could be current in 2018.
